KIS business philosophy and guiding principles.

• KIS is an acronym for King Information Services. It also serves as a acronym for our motto, 'Keep It Simple'. Many business solutions require only a different perspective and advice, not an expensive or time-consuming technology solution.
  

• KIS provides 'Value Added Services'. The client must be able realize a stated business objective from a completed project. Don't fall in love with the technology and computerize things just because you can.
  

• KIS will assist in defining project objectives. This important point consists of the following elements:
  

  • Listen to the client, hear what they say and what they don't say;

  • Ask questions to identify and resolve potential problems and conflicts;

  • Provide feedback and confirmation that the complete objective has been defined;

  • Assist client in justifying the objective. Generally, the objective should contribute to increasing profitability by reducing expenses or increasing revenues. If it doesn't increase profitability, there is a strong probability that it should not be done.

• KIS will prepare formal specifications and documentation before any solution implementation begins.

• KIS will provide a written consulting agreement that defines the scope of the project, time frames, deliverables and costs. This is to protect both KIS and the client. There should never be a conversation that starts with, "I thought you meant ...".

• The president of KIS is a former Marine, Viet Nam, combat veteran. As such, KIS puts honor and integrity above all else. We will never lie, either directly or through omission. We always do what we say we will do.
